NO INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS OR ADVICE; RELIANCE ON INFORMATION
Our website is a financial education, data portal, and content aggregator. Trading Steps is not a broker/dealer, we are not an investment advisor, we have no access to non-public information about publicly traded companies, and this is not a place for the giving or receiving of financial advice, advice concerning investment decisions or tax or legal advice. The services and the information available on or through this site are only for your general information and use and are not intended to address your particular requirements.
In particular, the investment information, content, education, strategies, alerts, and materials on this site (the «investment information») is in the nature of general investment research and data and is for general informational purposes only. The investment information is not personalized for you or any other recipient, does not constitute any form of advice or recommendation or investment advice by us or other users and is not and should not be considered to be an individualized investment recommendation. Such information is not intended to be relied upon by you in making (or refraining to make) any specific investment or other decisions.
Appropriate expert independent advice should be obtained before making any such decision. You bear all risks from any use or results of using any services and/or information on this site. Trading Steps is an education and research platform for retail traders and investors that specializes in education and producing statistical observations on key financial instruments. These instruments include but are not limited to shares, rolling spot foreign exchange contracts, commodity futures, contract for differences, spread bets, futures and government and public securities.
We will not arrange any transactions on your behalf. The Investment Information on the site is provided «AS IS» without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law Trading Steps is not responsible or liable in any manner for, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy, completeness, quality, reliability or usefulness of any investment information or the results obtained from any investment information.
The type of strategies mentioned on the site may not be suitable for everyone, and you alone are solely responsible for determining whether any investment, strategy or any other product or service is appropriate or suitable for you, based on your investment objectives and personal and financial situation. You should consult an independent financial advisor, attorney or tax professional regarding your specific investment, legal or tax situation.
We may offer valuation tools; these are solely for information and educational purposes so that users can easily run their own valuations. The pre-defined values are simply a starting point based on global assumptions that we have applied across the entire market – you should amend the values as you see fit and not regard them as a substitute for your own judgment. Any resulting valuation outputs are necessarily generic and are not endorsed for a given stock by Trading Steps.
INVESTMENT WARNINGS
We would like to draw your attention to the following important investment warnings.
a) The value of shares and investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up;
b) When speculating on derivatives losses can exceed deposits;
c) Investors may not get back the amount they invested and furthermore losses can exceed deposits – substantial losses greater than your capital are a real risk;
d) Past performance is not a guide to future performance;
e) Some instruments, such as derivatives, may be disproportionately impacted by changes in the underlying instruments on which they are based, and as such are particularly high risk investments;
f) For some of the instruments covered in our research price discovery and liquidity may, from time to time, be impacted by market conditions, making it hard to deal in those instruments or ascertain their correct market value.
